Chapter 594: Brothers
Because his brother's wife and concubine are not separated, Guan Lehe has had a meal with his brother's family since he went to Beijing, and he refuses to start a gang with them, but opens another kitchen, sends someone to buy vegetables, and buys a cook himself. Although his family lives in the same house as Guan Zhengxiang, because they have opened another door, they are actually not much different from living next to each other.
broke up with Du Jinning on this day, he took the carriage home, and did not go back to Guan Zhengxiang, but went home directly.
didn't want him to just have dinner, and Guan Zhengxiang sent someone to call him.
Guan Lehe had to put down the teacup, go through the corner gate, and go to Guan Zhengxiang's study in the outer courtyard.
"Second brother, have you eaten?" He asked, arching his hand as he entered the door.
"Just ate. I guess you've just eaten enough, so I'll have someone call you over and we'll have a chat. Guan Zhengxiang said with a smile.
He took out a white porcelain jar again: "Two days ago, someone sent me some good tea, fourth brother, you can taste it." ”
Guan Lehe glanced at the tea can, raised his eyebrows lightly, and did not make a sound.
Although he did not have a stake in the tea business that Du Jinning partnered with Qi Bokun and Yuan Xiuzhu, Du Jinning would send him a few catties of the best tea every year when new tea was launched. Even if the master and apprentice were separated for two years, Du Jinning never stopped sending tea.
After getting good tea, he naturally wanted to give his brother two catties. And Du Jinning's tea, whether it is quality or frying process, is the top in the Great Song Dynasty. The kind of tea she gave to Guan Lehe, because of the fresh and sweet taste, high and lasting fragrance, excellent taste, and in short supply, Du Jinning also pays attention to brand effect and hunger marketing methods, and now it has been fried to three hundred and one catties on the market - Du Jinning's newly bought house with a very spacious area and a good location is only worth two or three thousand taels of silver, which shows that the tea is expensive.
Now, Guan Zhengxiang actually took out a jar and said that the good tea that others gave him was still showing off in front of Guan Lehe, Guan Lehe really didn't know how to say it.
Seeing that Guan Lehe was silent, Guan Zhengxiang's eyes sank, and he handed the tea canister to the little maid and asked him to make tea.
He cleaned up his emotions and then spoke: "I heard that there is a book in the city that teaches people how to farm, and now many people have followed the above method to plant regenerative rice?" ”
Guan Zhengxiang, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, knew that this news was nothing, Guan Lehe nodded: "Exactly." ”
"Some people in your Ministry of Industry think that this person has written these things into the book without passing through the court, causing the people to follow suit and disturb the price of rice in the market, so they propose to arrest the person who wrote the book and punish him?"
Guan Lehe glanced at his brother, then nodded again: "Exactly." But in his heart, he wondered what Guan Zhengxiang wanted to say.
To be honest, Guan Zhengxiang, unlike other politicians, is quite a bit of a nerd and doesn't have many eyes, but he is very good at what to learn. At the age of nineteen, he won the title of champion in one fell swoop, which can be described as a spring breeze.
Because he doesn't have many eyes, but his ability is good, he is quite favored by his boss, and he has done a very smooth job as an official over the years.
Coincidentally, the original Ministry of Rites Shangshu was a supporter of the second prince, and after the new emperor came to power, he was liquidated. When it came time to promote the new Ministry of Rites Shangshu, it was a time of trade negotiations with the two countries of Daeshoku and Goryeo, and Guan Zhengxiang was one of the officials in the Ministry of Rites who did not know much of these two Chinese languages. He led officials to negotiate with the two countries, and the trade was negotiated smoothly.
Zhao Yuxin was in the position, and he lacked manpower, seeing that Guan Zhengxiang's ability seemed to be good, and he was honest, and he was not involved in the struggle for the heir, so he was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
But it is probably just smooth sailing, the issue of wives and concubines has made the emperor ask about it, and he is also the laughing stock of the court, Guan Zhengxiang still refuses to repent, which really makes Guan Lehe choke.
In other words, Guan Zhengxiang is not a politician like Qi Bokun, who is so focused on the things at hand that he rarely asks about things that have nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites.
The matter of regenerating rice, because of the uproar, Guan Zhengxiang knew that it was not strange; But Director Chen said in the Ministry of Industry in the morning that he wanted to deal with the author of "Farming", Guan Zhengxiang knew about it, and specially called him to interrogate, which had to make Guan Lehe think more, and always felt that someone had deliberately told Guan Zhengxiang about it in order to achieve some purpose.
Guan Zhengxiang didn't know that his younger brother had become vigilant, so he continued to ask at his own pace: "I heard that your disciple Du Jinning is very good at writing scripts, and he is also very talented in farming, and he is determined to be a great farmer in the future?" ”
At the mention of Du Jinning, the string in Guan Lehe's heart suddenly tightened: "Second brother, what do you mean by this?" ”
Guan Zhengxiang smiled: "Brother Ze hasn't been home for a long time, and it's not a matter of living in my grandfather's house all the time." His surname is Guan, not Kong, what is it like to live in Kong's house for a long time? He grew up with you since he was a child, and he will definitely listen to what you say. Why don't you help me persuade him to come home and live while he is resting? ”
Guan Zhengxiang's topic jumped too much, and Guan Lehe didn't react at first. When he turned the corner, a wave of anger rushed to his heart.
His eyes sank suddenly, and he looked at Guan Zhengxiang with a chill: "Second brother, I said that it is inconvenient for me to interfere in the affairs of your back house." If you want Ze Ge'er to go home and live, then you can go and talk to your sister-in-law. The sister-in-law has a stronger temperament, but she is not unreasonable. As long as you are soft, she will not really have a stiff relationship with you. ”
Worried that his brother would be confused on the issue of wives and concubines and hinder his future, Guan Lehe had persuaded Guan Zhengxiang bitterly before. Now it's just a rehash of the same old story.
Although the words are still the same, the speaker's state of mind is very different.
In the past, he was thinking about his brother and anxious about him; And now, after Guan Lehe finished saying that, his eyes were firmly fixed on Guan Zhengxiang, wondering if this brother had really disappointed himself so much.
Guan Zhengxiang was so immersed in his own world that he didn't notice the change in his younger brother's expression.
He tapped his hand on the tabletop, seemingly hesitant. However, he quickly made up his mind and said, "Brother Ze and Du Jinning are like brothers. Now the two are inseparable in Taixue. If something happens to Du Jinning, it will inevitably affect Brother Ze. So I hope you persuade Brother Ze'er to move back home. Otherwise, once Du Jinning's matter spreads, it will not only be his business, but you, the teacher, and Brother Ze will all be affected. You let Brother Ze go home to live, and don't go to Du Jinning yourself in the near future. If you can, you'd better distance yourself from him. ”
